    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. This is the most important Motion at this particular time. We all know that cancer and renal diseases are major killers in our country. Those diseases have killed very important people in our society, for example, hon. Prof. Maathai, hon. Shikuku, hon. Michuki, hon. Karume and others. Some other major personalities in this country have disclosed that they are living with those diseases, for example, Senator Anyang’-Nyong’o and Senator Beth Mugo. That is a disease that we cannot just sit back and watch as it kills our people. If we establish county hospitals, most poor people will have access to treatment. We also need to equip those hospitals otherwise, our people will continue dying. There are times when voters come to my office and tell me that they have patients suffering from renal diseases or different types of cancer. Dialysis is expensive. At KNH where it is a bit cheaper, a single session will cost more than Kshs4,500. The hospital does not have enough machines; it has about 13 machines which serve about 150 patients in a year. It is important that we establish those hospitals."
